BEIJING (AP) Top-seeded Lin Dan of China coasted to a straight-sets win on Monday while defending champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia was ousted in the second round of men's singles in Olympic badminton.

Lin, playing in his first match of the tournament, defeated Hong Kong's Wei Ng 21-16, 21-13 to advance to the third round.

The world's top-ranked men's player lost in the first round in Athens four years ago but there were no early-round jitters this time.

"I remember what happened four years ago and was prepared this time," said Lin. "I was much more focused and put everything into this match."

China won three out of five gold medals in Athens and will be looking to at least match that haul on home soil.

The pressure will be on Lin to secure the gold.

"I know many Chinese expect me to win the gold medal," said Lin. "But I must be myself. I'm not the defending Olympic champion so I just have to try my best."
